Job 38:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹²“Job, have you ever commanded the morning to come?
    Have you ever shown the sun where to rise?
¹³The daylight takes the earth by its edges
    as if it were a blanket.
    Then it shakes sinful people out of it.
¹⁴The earth takes shape like clay stamped with an official’s mark.
    Its features stand out
    like the different parts of your clothes.

And stands out like a garment.
